The New Wigmore: A Treatise on Evidence

The New Wigmore: A Treatise on Evidence is an authoritative guide with answers to evolving questions in civil and criminal litigation. The five volume series presents the same quality of research, thought, and analysis as the original Wigmore, creating a genuine present-day counterpart to the seminal evidence treatise.

Volume 1: Selected Rules of Limited Admissibility provides a sophisticated framework for lawyers and judges to understand and apply the rules that exclude evidence for policy reasons.

Volume 2: Evidentiary Privileges offers unique analysis of recent evidentiary problems including application of the attorney-client privilege to government agencies and corporate entities, and the difficulty of determining exactly who holds the privilege. In these two volumes, you’ll find also a practical framework for evaluating the existence or scope of new privileges.

Volume 3: Expert Evidence provides in depth coverage of the topics that lawyers and judges must know when dealing with expert testimony about medicine, engineering, psychology, economics, and forensic science, among other areas. It covers the topics common to all such testimony and focuses on scientific and statistical evidence, providing sophisticated and up-to-date explanations and analyses.

Volume 4: Evidence of Other Misconduct and Similar Events is a comprehensive, scholarly analysis of when evidence of crimes, wrongs, or acts other than those at issue in a trial may be admitted into evidence. The author analyzes the history of the prohibition on character evidence in England and the United States and the development of exceptions to the rule, discusses how courts should analyze questions of character evidence, and treats in detail the various exceptions such as motive, opportunity, preparation, plan, modus operandi, and identity.

Volume 5: Impeachment and Rehabilitation is a thorough review of all the rules governing impeachment of witnesses. It deals with impeachment with prior convictions, with prior bad acts, with inconsistent statements, with evidence of bias, and other evidence derogating credibility. Rules about limits on the use of extrinsic evidence to impeach are covered in detail.
